{"title":"Sharing Knowledge, Solving Problems Fuels Passion for International CCA of Year","authors":"Denice Rackley","doi":"10.1002/crso.20386","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/crso.20386","url":null,"abstract":"&lt;p&gt;A drive to help growers succeed by sharing the latest agronomic information, a belief in mentoring the next generation of farmers and ag professionals, and advocating for the CCA program are hallmarks of the career of the most recent recipient of the International CCA of the Year award.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Paul Hermans from eastern Ontario, Canada, joins the ranks of dedicated CCAs honored to receive this prestigious award.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hermans’s childhood experiences and enjoyment of the outdoors opened the doors for his career in agronomy. Growing up on a farm with a father who worked for the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food in Renfrew County provided Hermans his first exposure to agriculture. While his family didn’t farm, the land was rented out to a local dairy farmer. Working for the dairy farmer by milking cows, feeding beef steers, harvesting hay, and planting crops provided Hermans the hands-on opportunity to experience many facets of the industry.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Much preferring working in the fields to the milking parlor, Hermans pursued an ag degree from the University of Guelph and spent summers working for a variety of ag companies. Upon graduation, he was hired as a soil and water conservation technician. He then began working at Pioneer as an area agronomist, pursuing his CCA certification soon after. He has also worked as a territory sales manager and digital effectiveness manager, each role allowing Hermans to experience different sectors of the industry and adding to his ability to translate complex information into actionable steps for industry partners and growers alike.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“When I first entered the industry, I was surrounded by individuals who answered my questions and shared their knowledge—Jim Dippel, Dave Scott, Jim Coffey, and Paul Sullivan, just to name a few.” Understanding that mentorship plays a large role in success, Hermans actively mentors new industry professionals and young farmers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To share agronomic information with young farmers aged 16 to 20, he began a Corn Share program. From physiology to fertilizer, everything related to growing corn is explored. “Through the growing season, four in-field sessions are held with these participants going over key growth stages and management ideas in detail.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Due to interest in the Corn Share program, he began Soy Share. Having just completed the first Soy Share meeting, Herman notes, “The young people attending these programs are enthusiastic and interested in learning, which is exciting.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“By engaging with young farmers, he encourages them in developing an understanding of agronomy that is crucial for the future of food and agriculture,” says Sarah Lindsay, Ontario CCA Program Administrator.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Share programs are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Hermans’s passion for presenting the latest information to help growers succeed. Each winter, he plans research trials that answer farmers’ questions, address their concerns, and test the latest products.

With the continued threat of drought and depleting levels within the Ogallala aquifer in regions like the Southern Great Plains of the United States, it is important to adopt precision techniques that optimize water use while maximizing crop yields and quality. From soil moisture-based management to canopy-based monitoring and the development of irrigation decision support systems, farmers and CCAs have many options from commercially available tools at their disposal to navigate water scarcity challenges. The power of artificial intelligence, satellite imagery, and real-time data analytics can all be integrated together to bring the agricultural community to work towards a future where alfalfa production remains resilient and environmentally sustainable.
